All special issue manuscripts will undergo the same peer review process as regular submissions. The Editor-in-Chief oversees all journal content. If the manuscript is authored by the editor themselves, the editorial team, or family members of the research group, the editor will never be involved in this process; or even if there is a close professional relationship between the author and parties involved in the editorial process. If the editorial team finds a manuscript or an entire special issue does not meet quality standards, it may be rejected.
